Thanks to all on your answers on the monks.
However, contesting in elections are fundamentally against the 'should be' behavior of monks
That is what I think too.
But, advising politicians is always correct, as its a part of Buddhist culture, to advise rulers to conduct the administration in correct way.
But that advice may not suit people of other religion.
If you check, 100s of elderly people, ladies, and kids, were supported by SLA in the late stage of the war, due to the combination of this Buddhist factor and inherent discipline of the army.
Others have a different view on this, I wont dig this as it will not help with the reconciliation. |
